Southern Offerings
You want real and down to earth support with naps to recover from birth and wakeful nights. A chance to be with yourself for a moment while someone cares for your babe and knows when to pass baby over for a feed. Someone to support your breastfeeding/bodyfeeding learning curve. You want to be seen and heard during the most tumultuous and beautiful transition of your life. You and your partner want to work together to flourish as a couple and parents knowing how to support each other and when to get extra support. You want nourishing and nutrient warm food and drinks that will refuel your energy stores for another day. Little rituals to bring you back down to you. Learn to trust and lean into your intuition and instincts.
When you work with me we will uncover what you dream for postpartum and explore your fears and how to manage them. Your partner is encouraged and welcome to join, but it is not essential. During our time together I will gently guide you with an open, curious and experimental approach through the unknowns with clarity and confidence. A nourished mother and birthing person is a nourished family, and community.

Maiden and Mother Circle
Currently on Pause
Last Friday of every Month | 10am-12pm | $50
The Fourth Floor, Hobart
Includes Nutritional Snacks and Tea
Bringing women together who are carrying babes in womb or arms to honour each other, witness the light and shadow, laugh, hold one another, be seen, authentically connect with others, create ritual for one of the most reverent transitions in life.
Circles are a part of many cultures of the world, an ancient way of gathering to celebrate the moon or cooking and crafting in circle together. Guided by natures rhythm our circles will draw inspiration from the moon, motherhood and looking into our inner wisdom.
The intention with this container is to create a common place for women and mothers to gather, connect and feel a sense of belonging. To be held in a safe space to share their voices, and a place for healing. With sharing comes the closing of knowledge gap in the maiden to mother transition. This space is for those seeking community, finding growth and self love surrounded by warm and welcoming support of those in circle.
All women and femme identifying people are welcome.
Babies also welcome (crawling but not walking).
Join us in Circle at the next monthly gathering below.
Bookings essential.
